Latest version of zEdit
Highly recommended:
Instructions:
Part 1: Load Order
- Download Main File
- Move True Equipment Overhaul.esp as low as possible
- If you have any optional ESPs, load them lower
Part 2: zEdit setup
- Download latest version of zEdit.
- Choose portable version, unpack it somewhere
- Now download "Patcher" file of TEO and unpack it to the "modules" folder in your zEdit directory
- You must have "index.js" file in your "zEdit/modules/teo" folder
Part 3. Build zEdit Patch
- If you did everything right, when you load zEdit, your patcher window will look like first mod image
- Choose only "TEO.esp", uncheck other patches if you have them
- Open "True Equipment Overhaul" settings tab and disable modules you don't need
- Press "Build" and wait until it builds
- Close zEdit and save TEO.esp on exit
- If you install/update/remove mods or change your load order, rebuild TEO.esp.
Warning: This mod won't work if you merge your armor & weapon mods or change their esp names.
Spoiler:
TEO is basically compatible with all mods except those which have overlapping functionality.
TEO is compatible with all perk overhauls except huge ones like PerMa, SkyRe and Requiem.
This means that Ordinator, Vokrii, Better Vanilla Perks are compatible.
TEO Fixes Module adds Animated Armory support for other weapon mods.
So AA patches for Heavy Armory, Immersive Weapons etc are not needed.
TEO Main Module is using DEPRECATED05 (Unknown 162) Actor Value.
TEO Main Module armors look better with UNP or vanilla body than with CBBE.
TEO Main Module is not compatible with mods which strongly change equipment distribution:
TEO Main Module is not compatible with More Interesting Loot. Use Dynamic Dungeon Loot instead.
TEO Damage Module is not compatible with mods which add armor traits/properties:
Build Bashed Patch before TEO.
If you are using my other patchers, correct order is this:

Morrowind-Inspired Armor System
Morrowind-Inspired Armor System
Spoiler:
Light Armor is vastly superior to Heavy Armor in vanilla game.
TEO fixes this by reworking the whole armor system.
Light Armor (Sneak skill)
This is technically Clothing but with Armor Rating.
It is as cheap and light as before, but is 25% weaker now.
So it is very light and quiet - the only type of Armor without debuffs for Thief skills.
That's why it's the only reasonable choice for sneaky thieves, assassins and hunters.
It also can be very cheap, so it's used by those who can't afford or don't need anything better.
Note: there are no Light shields.
Sneak tree receives a Light Armor branch
You also receive Sneak experience if wearing 2 Light pieces in combat
(same functionality as in Vokrii and Ordinator for Light/Heavy Armor)
Medium Armor (old Light Armor skill)
It is as strong as Light Armor was before, but is heavier and more expensive.
It also has pretty strong debuffs to Thief skills (Sneak, Pickpocket).
A balanced option which provides good protection as well as speed and reasonable cost.
It's not surprising that many soldiers, rangers and mercenaries will prefer it.
And it's not surprising that practical Medium Armor is so popular in Skyrim.
(Nords actually had racial bonus towards Medium Armor in Morrowind)
Heavy Armor (not changed)
It is untouched by TEO, so it is still heavy, strong and expensive.
It's a legit solution to those who need maximum protection no matter what the cost.
[size=3]It has very strong debuffs to Thief skills (Sneak, Pickpocket).

More Armors and More Lore
Spoiler:
Generic Medium Armors
Vanilla Skyrim offers two comprehensive lines of progression for Heavy and Light Armor.
You know it, Iron -> Steel -> ... -> Daedric and Fur/Hide -> Leather -> ... -> Dragonscale.
Many of vanilla armors are converted to Medium type, but this doesn't break anything.
TEO fully implements not two but three lines of armor progression.
20+ new high-quality armor sets
This includes but is not limited to:
Naming and appearance fixes
Weapons Rebalanced
TEO implements True Orcish And True Daedric Weapon modules from Weapons and Armors Fixes.
Value, rating, weight and lvl list positions of some weapon materials are switched.
This makes them more balanced and consistent with the lore.
Vanilla: Orcish < Dwarven < Elven, Daedric < Dragonbone
TEO: Dwarven < Elven < Orcish, Dragonbone < Daedric

Reworked Equipment Distribution
Spoiler:
All Dragonborn content (except Stalhrim and Skaal) now is widespread in Skyrim.
Nordic weapons are widely used alongside Steel and Iron.
Bandits and mercenaries now often use not only Nord-made, but also foreign equipment:
Altmer, Breton, Bosmer, Dunmer, Cyrodilic, as well as salvaged Dwemer and Draugr stuff.
A lot of unique or semi-unique NPCs now have more appropriate armors and weapons:

New Weapon Skills
It's actually pretty stupid to divide weapons into one-handed and two-handed.
There is nothing really different between 1H axe and 2H axe, except it's weight.
However 1H sword and 1H axe are totally different weapons.
Nowadays there are also mods which add spears with custom animations.
However, spears still don't have a a specific Weapon type.
So I decided to divide weapons into Bladed and Shafted.
All perk overhauls are compatible.
Basically new system looks like this:
Bladed Weapons (old One-Handed skill)
Shafted Weapons (old Two-Handed skill)
Benefits of new system

All perk overhauls are compatible.
Basically new system looks like this:
Bladed Weapons (old One-Handed skill)
- Short Blades - use Dagger perks - daggers and short swords from mods
- Curved Blades - use War Axe perks - katana, scimitar, all other curved swords
- (This includes vanilla swords like Orcish and all sabers/cutlasses added by mods)
- Straight Blades - use Sword perks - most of vanilla and modded swords
- Two-handed Blades - use Mace perks - all two-handed swords.
Shafted Weapons (old Two-Handed skill)
- Axes - use Battle Axe perks - all axes, but not halberds
- Blunt weapons - use Warhammer perks - all maces and hammers
- (This doesn't include quarterstaffs which are a type of polearm)
- Polearms - use Greatsword perks - all spears, halberds, glaives and quarterstaffs
Benefits of new system
- Spears get their own perks
- All perk overhauls are fully compatible
- Player now can easily change between 2H and 1H weapons
- The whole system now makes more sense from realism point of view
DAMAGE MODULE
Slash/Pierce/Strike/Critical Damage
Spoiler:
Critical Damage was fully reworked.
Now it takes into account your Skill level (Blade, Shafted or Archery).
All alchemy/enchantment bonuses are also accounted.
Overall amount of critical damage now is very significant.
There are now 6 types of damage:
All weapons have 1 or 2 types of Damage.
If weapon gets 2 types of Damage it will also be 25% weaker.
For example, Sword (Slash, Pierce) is 25% weaker than Sabre (Slash).
Different weapon classes have different Damage types.
Mods Heavy Armory, Animated Armory, Lost Longswords and Immersive Weapons add many new classes.
NOTE:
Bladed Weapons
Shafted Weapons
Axes - 1H axes will be Slash, but battleaxes have strong momentum, so they are Slash/Strike.

Critical Damage was fully reworked.
Now it takes into account your Skill level (Blade, Shafted or Archery).
All alchemy/enchantment bonuses are also accounted.
Overall amount of critical damage now is very significant.
There are now 6 types of damage:
- Magic: Fire, Frost and Shock
- Non-magic: Slash, Pierce and Strike
All weapons have 1 or 2 types of Damage.
If weapon gets 2 types of Damage it will also be 25% weaker.
For example, Sword (Slash, Pierce) is 25% weaker than Sabre (Slash).
Different weapon classes have different Damage types.
Mods Heavy Armory, Animated Armory, Lost Longswords and Immersive Weapons add many new classes.
NOTE:
- If you use Animated Armory, install Plugin Leveled List Version
- You don't need any AA compatibility patches (Heavy Armory, Immersive Weapons etc)
- TEO will setup correct AA keywords for HA and IW weapons
Bladed Weapons
- Short Blades - daggers are Pierce, shortswords (HA) and tantos (IW) - Pierce/Slash
- Curved Blades - katanas, wakizashis, cutlasses, sabers (IW) and some of vanilla swords are all Slash
- Straight Blades - swords are typically Pierce/Slash, but rapiers (AA) are Pierce
- Two-handed Blades - real two-handed swords are Slash
- but one-and-half-handed swords like longswords (LL) are Pierce/Slash.
- I really think now that longswords should be 2H, because when I used 1H they were just better swords.
- Also, nobody ever used longsword/bastard sword together with a shield, unlike one-handed arming swords.
- So 2H longswords actually are historically accurate
Shafted Weapons
Axes - 1H axes will be Slash, but battleaxes have strong momentum, so they are Slash/Strike.
- However, double-edged Axes (IW Double Axes or vanilla Steel Battleaxe) are still Slash.
- Blunt weapons - boring but powerful. Strike.
- Polearms - spears are Pierce, halberds and glaives - Pierce/Slash, quarterstaffs - Strike.
- Blunt weapons and quarterstaffs have 50% lower Critical Damage.

- Note: Resistant Armors are made of harsh, but brittle non-metal materials
- These are typically Crystal-based (Glass, Ebony...) or Bone-based (Chitin, Dragonscale...)
- Orsimer Armor is made of metal so it isn't Resistant!
Close-faced helmets and masks also have a Full Property

- Stamina Regeneration 50% slower
EPILOGUE
Credits and Gratitudes
Spoiler:
I want to thank:
- matortheeternal, for developing zEdit and all the help I got from him.
The very possibility that this mod actually exists is because he created zEdit.
This guy is just amazing.
- MediumLowQuality from skyrimmods discord
for his help with the Papyrus and Skyrim game mechanics.
TEO 3.0 wouldn't be possible without him.
- hothtrooper44, for allowing me to rework distribution of Immersive Armors to make it more compatible with TEO.
Now I managed to do this as I always wanted:
TEO nearly doubles amount of generic low/medium level armors in game,
and IA provides unique outfits for named NPCs, who are now really memorable.
- EnaiSion, for Vokrii/Ordinator script that grants armor experience when in combat
